Peter Jennings said that 9/11 triggered his smoking habit again, after years of not smoking. Of course, you can never really be sure if he was going to get lung cancer anyway even if he hadn't started up again--but it certainly didn't help matters.
I grew up watching his telecasts, he projected an aura of competence, he seemed very knowlegeable about the world at large, much more than a talking head. I don't really watch network news anymore now that I'm in the working world, but he'll certainly be missed...
